The Framework Class Library (FCL or BCL)

The .Net Framework provides a huge Framework (or Base) Class Library (FCL) for common, usual tasks. FCL contains thousands of classes to provide access to Windows API and common functions like String Manipulation, Common Data Structures, IO, Streams, Threads, Security, Network Programming, Windows Programming, Web Programming, Data Access, etc. It is simply the largest standard library ever shipped with any development environment or programming language. The best part of this library is they follow extremely efficient OO design (design patterns) making their access and use very simple and predictable. You can use the classes in FCL in your program just as you would use any other class. You can even apply inheritance and polymorphism to these classes.
